Zoom in

I wanted to do something original, I've been looking at movie and TV cars but they've all been done so I decided to use my imagination. I'd like to appologise in advance for any historical inaccuracies.

About this creation

... suicide doors as usual

... I honestly didn't know what to call it so I called it "The Thing"

... I tried it in several colours before settling with tan and it looked like an army transport (on meth) so I added some brown pieces to it and the German cross too the roof and (opening) tailgate

... I was thinking of putting a 50 cal on the tray or a missle launcher or some type of weapon, but that would've ruined the overall look (I think)

... I got a 2-for-1 deal on superchargers

If a military general came to a Hot Rod show,he'd probably bring this with himself. VERY NICE! :D

Quoting Ape Fight Beautifully original (and mental!) and yet it still looks quite traditional in it's rod-ish-ness, which I very much like. A lot of Rods on this site don't really have anything to do with real Hot Rods except for a tenuous title, but this looks, whilst mad, like it could really exist. Great job 5 stars : )

I just realised I never thanked you for the ROTM award... thanks. I'm about to upload a 1930 Ford Woody Wagon, my first build in 18 months, I hope you like that as much as you liked this one
